i'd like to see the pats just carry 2 QBs, i hate to have roster spots taken by a 3rd or 4th QB backup. there is no way the team will keep 4 qbs on the roster, the team is too deep to do it. it would not surprise me to see o'donnell red-shirted, oh i mean, IR'd towards the end of training camp.
THIS roster?? At THIS time of year...not at all..WRONG!!! This team usually has 4 QBs..in camp..in fact a few years ago they started TC with 5..although that number was quickly reduced by one..I am almost sure that this roster of 4 QBs is the biggest amount this team has had since Belichick got here,in fact I don't think any team has 4 QBs except maybe the Bucs right now who have 5 on the roster.
The key here is contracts. If Cassel vs. Gutierrez is a close decision, Gutierrez has a huge leg up because the Patriots control his rights through 2010.
No freaking way. This isn't 2000.
And Cassell is a guard on the Boston Celtics.
Cassel is a player on the New England Patriots.
Since the Pats drafted Cassel... wouldn't he be an RFA once his initial contract is up?
Guiterrez or Cassel will be traded to the Falcons and our old friend Dimitroff. Lombardi recently said on NFL Network that Dimitroff loves Guiterrez and would part with as high as a mid Rd pick for him.

But whatever, if obcessing over the backup QB's otherwise occupies some of you, so be it.
You'd be lucky to get a stale ham sandwich for Matt "Pick Six" Cassel.Might be the perfect time to shop Cassell for a 6th or 7th rounder next year - Some team has got to be desperate enough to take a chance on him

Cassel has regressed or you didn't notice that last year against the 1-15 Dolphins.What could we get for the "led a furious comeback to get to within a two-point conversion of beating the Dolphins with a bunch of second-and-third stringers" Matt Cassel?

I don't see 4 QBs on roster as that big a stretch.
Granted our roster is tight up against the 53 man limit. But last year we kept Troy Brown on the roster all year out of respect and he saw the field for what - 3 plays?
I'd say it is much more likely for a PUP or IR of somebody or a Cassel trade; but you never know. we could end up with 4.
